#I don't think he'd be comfortable with it tho - at times his actions make me wonder if he even considers himself a Watchdog

Heeeey! What type if kisses do u think p1h are? Currently, I'm writing smth like this and I see soul as butterfly kisses(which i learnt are like little eyelash kisses.. very weird/very soul), intak as cheek kisses etc.. but what do you think?😋

piwon members' kissing styles/scenarios👄💝

tags: fluff, kissing (obv), lot of touching, suggestive (mdni), romantic word count: 982

a/n: ooh that's such an intriguing question.. i'm honestly not that knowledgable about kissing, but this is what i'd suspect based on their love languages and ways to show affection. also I kinda went overboard and put them in scenarios a bit different than just causal kissing. hope you don't mind haha<3

~ Keeho ~

We all know Keeho's a very intimate person, so I'd say he's the type whose hands would be all over you, especially loving holding your boobs, but in the end settling on you waist pulling you in, always demanding more, passionate kisser.

Would break away from your lips just so when you open your eyes you could see a huge grin sitting on his face. "Whaat?" You'd furrow your eyebrows. "Nothing" He'd say still smiling ear to ear. "I just like kissing you" Glancing down at your mouth and reconnecting your lips to continue where you left off.

After the makeout session would undoubtedly want to cuddle!! "Can you play with my hair?" He'd look at you with glowing puppy eyes. "Of course Kee." You'd simper brushing your finger through his strands, both his arms wrapped around your waist head resting on your chest.

~ Theo ~

Since he's kind of a quality time typa guy he'd certainly take his time, but also be kinda bold. Would drive you crazy with leaving wet kisses on wherever you want him to.

"Ah.. Tae-" You'd moan his name, fingers tangled in his hair. "Where do you want it love?" He'd look up, searching for your eyes. Your mind would run all over the place. Careful love bites making your skin numb. "Use your words, I want you to feel good." "Here please." You'd mumble tounge tied. "Good girl." He'd be the biggest tease and would enjoy every minute of your neediness.

Instead of waist, he'd casually rest his hand on the nape of your neck/back of your head and caress your hair. Even when in a public setting would pull you closer for a second to give you a quick kiss on the forehead.

~ Jiung ~

He's a tough one since he isn't specifically too obsessed with being physical, but if he knows you enjoy being touched in a certain way he'd try to go out of his way to please those needs. Also since he's not as initiative as others, he'd love it when you take control. Favorite kissing position would be you sitting on his lap.

When you touch him on spots like tigh, neck or when tracing your fingers along his abdomen, he'd shiver and his ears would turn red. "I'm sorry, should I stop?" You'd ask politely because you know he can be sensitive at times with physical affection. "No, keep going. You just surprised me." He'd giggle pulling you back in with his hand resting on your cheek, softly stroking your skin with his thumb.

I think he'd be a "slowburn" kisser, taking his time to gradually build the tension. When your sighs and moans get louder and more frequent, his courage would build up and he'd get more brave with his actions. He's still a consent king tho and would not stop asking if you feel comfortable. "Is this okay?" "Can I touch you here?" "Tell me if you want me to stop, okay?" "Fuck Jiung.. it turns me on when you're so attentive.."

~ Intak ~

He'd love giving casual nose kisses and be obsessed with you blushing everytime. Similar to Kyo he'd love resting his head on your chest, listening to your heartbeat while you brush your hand along his back.

When you're doing something he'd carefully come up behind you wrapping his hands around your waist moving your hair over your shoulder so he can kiss the nape of your neck and observe what you're doing by resting his chin on the other side of your shoulder. "Whatcha' making?" He'd say with an innocent smile on his face, even though he just made your heart flutter like crazy.

When he isn't acting like a sweetheart he'd LOVE making out either with him between your legs while you're sitting on the counter or picking you up, with your legs around his waist while he's holding you by the thighs or butt.

~ Shota ~

Sho's a cutie. Would randomly run over to you, put his face so close that your noses are touching and give a swift little peck on your cheek. "Thank you." You'd reply laughing to yourself even though he's long gone.

Instead of focusing on your lips alone he'd leave kisses all over your face, from forehead to chin. "Shotaa~ on the lips please!" You'd curl your lower lip playfully. "Okay, just because you look too cute." He'd smile innocently, finally leaning closer. Occasionally biting on your lip causing you to let out a soft moan.

His favorite part to kiss would be the one that results you to make the loudest noise. His first instinct would always be to please your needs before anything else. He'd also love playing with your hands, drawing small circles on your skin and kissing your fingers. Needless to say he'd love holding your hand anywhere and everywhere.

~ Jongseob ~

I feel like Seob would feel lowkey lost when it comes to intimacy, but you'd guide him through it making your experience even more sensual and romantic. "Sorry, I'm not sure what I'm doing.." He'd say embarrassed with concernedly knitted brows. "It's okay, let's just take it slow. Alright?" You'd take his hands in yours glancing a soft smile, kissing them comfortingly.

Would 100% blush when you're kissing. "Babe, you look flushed." You'd chuckle after peeling away from his lips. "You should see yourself!" He'd point at you cheeks "What? I don't blush!" You'd quickly cup your face in your own hands. "You're red as an apple, babe.." He'd say teasingly. "Whatever.." You'd pout, as he giggles and grabs your hands away from your face to pull you back into a kiss.

Any time you guys would play games together he'd have you sitting in between his legs on the ground, having the controller in his hands in front of you, snuggling into your neck, ocassionally giving a peck on your cheek.

a/n: phew.. that took quite long. i apologize for any grammar mistakes or typos (not a native speaker), also if i interpreted the request differently from what you meant, it felt more natural explaining it this way, hope you still enjoyed reading^^ @angelsouli

TALK ABOUT LOGAN U SAY

anywayssss

I’m getting sick 😭😭 and I am terrible at taking care of myself. I don’t really drink water and I’m bad at eating and I don’t take medicine bc im lazy sooo low key I need Logan to come and tell me im an idiot and cuddle me and be my nurse tyvm

ROOOOOOOOOOOSE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF@!!!!!!!!

I say, as I didnt eat until 7:30 pm for the first time since I woke up at 6am, don't remember the last time i drink water, and used to skip taking medication when i had them

I hope you start feeling better!! Load up on vitamins, fruit, protein, hell take some gummy vitamins if you can. drink some orange juice!!!

Logan would be SUUUUUUUCH A GOOD CARETAKER!!!!!! HONESTLY!!! I think he would love doing it. I think initially he would have trouble warming up (like yknow first coming to the mansion or whatever situation you and logan find yourselves in) but like its canon he makes food and does nice things for others once he's settled in to the mansion.

and when hes got you????? LORD.

LOGAN TAKING CARE OF YOU HEADCANONS!!!!!!

he'll definitely nag your ass. Professional Nagging Champion over here. only because he wants you to take care of yourself

maybe at one point he acts nonchalant, "im not your babysitter" howlett but inside he's secretly raging over the fact that you're complaining of a headache meanwhile all you ate was a fruit snack today. Okay no more being "Cool guy" howlett. he wants to take care of you (think abotu what you do for him!!!)

He'll have alarms set on his phone (that he barely understands how to use but he figured that part out at least). even when he's out and without you he'll be texting you to take your meds

will probs be the one to grab your medicine case too when leaving

Like i said, I think Logan is a pretty good cook- okay, MAYBE X1/worst/old man Logan was on the road/struggling to survive and barely cooked the entire time but I still think he'd be sooo good at it. make the yummiest, healthiest meals

(NO MICROWAVES)

Will learn your favorite recipes and make them on days he notices you're more rundown. He won't tell you on purpose bc he loves seeing the happy surprise on your face when you come into the kitchen

will bring you sliced fruit. ultimate act of love for me.

will buy you a water bottle and check on it to make sure you're drinking and also make you drink water whenever he's around

he's not super loud about it. when he takes care of you. obvious, but not loud.

like setting a water bottle firmly in front of you, or bringing you food but not saying a word about it. its just how he expresses his love. actions, not words. (when you're in private that might be a lil different tho...)

when he notices you're rundown, got the sniffles, looking sicker than usual in general he'll force you to take a nap with him under the premise of snuggling, but really its to get you to rest (but also snuggles. you cannot tell me this man is not the biggest cuddle bug on earth. im not just saying that bc i wanna cuddle with him. i truly think he would love cuddling and would be silently grumpy if he couldn't get the morning snuggles with you)

will give you massages to help you feel better

listen. listen. those massages always lead to something more. unless you're seriously ill. you're getting fucked.

will get protective and pissy to anyone(sorry scott) around you who start nagging you about paperwork, work in general, and whatever else. he knows you're doing your best and he's not gonna take shit or let you take shit from anyone

so so so comforting on your bad days. lots of hugs. kisses. reassurance. cursing out anyone who made you feel bad (either in private or to their faces logan doesn't care)

don't be concerned about his stoic ways when he does these things for you. he absolutely delights in doing so. living so long as a soldier, a weapon- he didn't think he'd be capable of being soft, affectionate, taking care of some one. now you're here and you help him so much and to be able to both return the favor and truly commit to his love is such a wonderful thing for him.

if you mention your feet being sore just once he'll want to carry you around the rest of the day. he just likes parading you around in his arms

when you're sick sick, nurse logan on the way.

sorry to anyone else that may try to help you because logan will straight up shove them out of the way.

hes tucking you in bed and giving you ALL the snuggles. checking your temp constantly. making you homemade comfort food. getting you the medicine you need. also I feel like he would try it just to see how it tastes since he never needs to take it. prepare for a rant of disgusts and then he goes out of his way to find better and tastier alternatives for you.

talks SO gently to you as well. he really is a lover boy <3

i actually have a request for logan taking care of a sick reader so i'll save some stuff for that

will curse under his breath tho, about sharing healing factors cause he really hates that you can't be well. at least he can coddle you though

will be that bitch and get you to do things for yourself by calling you sweet petnames and asking "for me, princess?" with that stupid charming smile that you cant resist and he KNOWS. screw you logan now im eating a balanced breakfast and taking my multivitamins.

[dirtsoilmulch]

I saw ur tags on my post and consider….Autistic Nick…like high functioning, smells and gross stuff being sensory issues, having stims like smokin and fidgeting with his gun and/or rings, his shirt being silk cause texture issues etc etc. but curious about ur takes about the gangs neurodivergence! :3c I think Ellis being ADHD is canon for sure lol

WOOOO I GET TO YAP ABOUT MY FAVS HUZZAH:

nick:

definitely picky sensory-wise, but decent and high functioning socially. maybe a bit too blunt but it comes off as he's just a bitch instead of he's just autistic (those two ideas coexist btw. he's a autistic bitch)

arguably the world's number one hand sanitizer fan. but still particular about the kinds he'd use even in an apocalypse, just because there are some that don't dry right on his hands, don't smell good when opened, etc etc

EXTREMELY particular about his clothes. no wonder he complains about that 3000 dollar suit whenever he gets shit on it, it's the 'safe' one

(also only one considering the situation but shhhhh)

(i'm sure pre-apocalypse he had like 5 different pairs of the same suit)

fidget king. turning his rings on his fingers (definitely comfort items even if he doesnt admit it), unloading and reloading his guns, unbuttoning and rebuttoning his jacket. there's so much he would fuck with

he can make rings and shit when he smokes it's impressive

(i had a lot to say abt nick oopsie)

ellis:

my glorious adhd king

"I don't know what hd is but my doctor said I had 80 of them bitches"

he thinks too fast for his mind and body to keep up with so he'll just say shit (that's not even a headcanon he just does that)

IF we are entertaining the autistic ellis headcanon as well (we are) his special interest is cars. both mechanical stuff and stock car racing (nascar and the like)

((i may or may not have an f1 nellis au in my brain because l4d2 and f1 are my fav things rn... idc if a nascar au makes more sense f1 is more epic))

collects the mini hotwheels stock cars. just hotwheels in general. look at him he would

can and will list of everything he knows about any given subject he likes, but he'd get distracted making a reference nobody understands and then explaining it with another reference nobody understands

im projecting idc

struggles socially just because he lacks the ability to understand subtle social cues. you have to say it directly to his face and Then he'll get it

nothing is a sensory struggle. he fucks w literally everything even the weird shit. maybe the textures and smells of certain foods (probably fish)

rochelle:

honest to God i don't think she realizes that her dear survival team are all neurodivergent (but I doubt they even realize it themselves)

token neurotypical it's a hard job but someone has to do it

accidentally mimics the actions of the people around her (intentionally just to give them shit for it, but it becomes habit overtime). nick will fidget with his rings, she'll mess with her bracelets. ellis will stand with a wide cowboy stance, she'll copy.

would also be the type to respond for someone else just because she knows what they'll say, but in a very bad imitation of their voice

just rochelle imitating ellis' fuckass accent. (literally everyone imitating ellis' fuckass accent. nick does it in game bro)

nice enough to pick up on the tiny things of everyone else and offers little trades for preferred weapons and such

coach:

oh coach... how I love you...............

adhd

a similar vein to ellis where he just has a lot going on in his brain at all times, but since he's grown (possibly medicated) he has a better grasp on it

definitely talks to himself under his breath tho, it helps him lock in

struggles with volume level definitely not based on me and my friends playing with the loud coach friendly fire mod but he tries his best and will shut the fuck up when asked

coach telling dad jokes.... not even a related headcanon its just on my mind

really elaborate ones but he loses it midway thru and remembers like 4 hours later (but forgets the intro to the joke)

(now it's related)

would attempt to help ellis manage his adhd better but that guy does not listen (or care to listen)

this was an accidentally very long post (oopsie). send more asks l4d2 fandom i could yap for DAYS

[nogenderbee]

Hey bee! Seems like your request is open again so I'm here to make one!

So can I like request jingyuan and danheng with s/o that wears glasses? As a glasses wearer, I often forgot where i put my glasses or i just sleep with my glasses on😭

That's all from me! Have a nice day/night bee!

-❄

Absolutely! I wear glasses too so hopefully it turned out okey! <3

Dan Heng, Jing Yuan with reader with glasses

Not tagging you because you'll get notification either way!

⊱ Dan Heng is just a bit more attentive to you and your actions if you wear glasses

⊱ he'll pay attention to where you put your glasses in case you can't find them later so he can point it out for you

⊱ he'll also tell you when your glasses are dirty and if you put it aside or for later, he'll offer to do it for you

⊱ always is there when you fall asleep or simply lay your head somewhere with glasses on, just to tell you to take them off

⊱ he won't take your glasses off for you unless you're asleep and even if, he's very careful to not break or dirty them

⊱ either reminds you or forces you to go and make eye checks like once or twice a year

⊱ will always compliment you if you got new frames! Speaking of which... he'll go with you for choosing new frames but what's the point when he likes every...?

"I think you look pretty in both of them. Just pick the ones you feel most comfortable in."

⊱ he just genuinely thinks you look pretty in all of them so don't be mad at him for not being able to choose...

⊱ also important fact if you're the person to not wear your glasses when you need them for any reason you may have, he'll literally force you because he cares about your health and doesn't want your eyesight to get worse

⊱ Jing Yuan is the type of person to think that glasses add extra charm to people

⊱ somehow he just ADORES the way you fix your glasses on your nose

"Heh~ are they falling of your nose again? Here let me, you don't have to pull away from your things."

⊱ he doesn't really mind taking off your glasses, even without asking you first. He may say it's because your glasses are dirty or some other excuse but he really just enjoy seeing that surprised expression of yours when he does that

⊱ he has no experience with cleaning glasses tho so you might receive them even more dirty... but that's what happens SOMETIMES, if he happens to clean them with right material, you'll receive them clean!

⊱ whenever you fall asleep, he'll take them off for you and put it next to you as he sits close to make sure no one dares to steal them

⊱ if you ask him to hold your glasses for longer while when he's busy, he'd most likely put them on his head to do both at the same time

⊱ definitely compliments your glasses and will even help you choose new frame for them if you ask him for it

Don't be so annoyed, love!

Summary: He's so annoying sometimes but it's ok because you love him 😭 (HC w/ Dazai, Kunikida, Ranpo)

Genre: Crack, fluff, lowkey suggestive themes

Warnings: 🗿 we ignoring the red flags bc we can. also mentions of farting bc dazai 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

A/N: u cant tell me that they wouldnt do any of these things ok 💀also kunikida's got a small drabble out of nowhere but im always wildin when it comes to him 😭😭😭😭😭

Dazai Osamu

u cant tell me that as soon as hes rly comfortable in ur relationship that he WOULD NOT be ashamed of just farting outta nowhere honestly 💀

Like yall r just chilling on the couch, watching smth and he just lets it all out bc why should he hold himself back 🗿

Hes at home 🗿

But bro's lucky he doesnt smell but 🗿🗿🗿🗿 wheres the warning from him

u give him the side eye and hes like "What? Are you perhaps ashamed of human nature, bella?" like ok we'll leave him alone but he ruined the emotional moment of the movie yall were watching 😭😭😭

Is also the type to prob leave his socks and clothes lying around

It got better over time but he still sometimes does it bc old habits die hard i guess 🧍

once got so bad you just collected all of his clothes and put them infront of the door so he'd have no choice but to pick all of that up and do it himself 💀

would try to talk his way out of it in the beginning but also felt kinda bad after the relationship got more and more serious

So now hes a good bf/ husband and does it himself 🤩 (with the occasional sock under the couch 💀)

drinking habits would take a bit longer to be fully gone, he'd learn to regulate it over time

He's learned to warn you tho when he thinks that a rly shitty day might hit him bc work and more

sometimes you take the day off and do something together to take his mind off of it

Sometimes you're at work and a "im home" text without hearts will come and you know whats wrong

would feel more comfortable over time letting you take care of him

will definitely show you his appreciation for you the next days in one way or the other 🤩💅

talking about living together, yall would often have to sit down to talk about his spendings bc our man cant save for ANYTHING

Used to often come home with little things like "Look, this reminded me of you!" and it's a plushie of a cat or something

Started off cute and small but got dramatic like him really fast

ngl he came home with a expensive necklace u liked when the both of u went shopping but u didnt buy it bc.. she expensive...

like he was charming as always with his "Tada! Guess what I've got you?~ 😋" ".... Not the necklace...? 😧" "🤩 How did you guess that right, bella??" "😨😨"

THIS man right here wouldnt even hesitate to just right out fking steal shit for you if u want it bc thats how much Power u got over him he'd never admit that tho sksks... OK maybe in bed...

he'd def either blackmail or bribe chuuya into helping him with stealing

probably even has access to his bank account and you'd only realize that when he'd stand infront of your door, asking where that "f*cking b*stard" is

you'd legit have to mediate their convo or else the whole building you live in would be gone immediately skks 💀

Chuuya likes u so he wouldnt make yall pay for it bc he knows that dazai's nearly broke 24/7 and u dont deserve to pay for his fault 💅

it would be enough to destroy his pride to make him obey chuuya for like 2 weeks or sum cue evil cackling from said red head

queen of Gaslightining nr. 1 😭 sometimes its for the dumbest arguments tho like why its okay to smack your lips while eating 😭

"I don't know it's just really noisy and kinda annoying for me?" "But Bella, that shows just how tasty your food is or are going to deny that fact and say that I should not show my appreciation for it? What if for me personally it's a sign of a good meal?" "Yeah but doesnt need to be that for me. Also you can show your appreciation for it in other ways like just simply saying its delicious?"

"But actions speak louder than words, my love." "YEAH, well then what do you want then???"

Its just a whole shit show and would (lmao it WILL) end in him giving you just shameless bedroom eyes and well you know whats gonna be after dinner lmaooo 🤡😭

Also also i do believe that hes not the best cook at first but hes a real fast learner so it prob would only take him a week of consuming cooking videos and reading books and BOOM

"Samu, is this a 3 course meal you're cooking because that's a LOT of ingredients in the kitchen." "Sssh just sit down, wash yourself up and enjoy the evening, my love! I'll call you when I'm done 💕"

Manages to somehow still give you some snacks and drinks in between the cooking 😭 with some sneaked in kisses on your shoulder or lips 😏

If you go and hug him from behind, he'll be MELTING

Like nuzzling your face into his back while wrapping your arms around his torso, you feel the slight rumble in his chest as he chuckles at your cute action 😭

"If you want to eat something then you should take a break from being so cute, you know? Don't want the food to go bad from maybe getting a bit distracted if you stay here for a bit longer." "Ew, are you implying you'd start something infront of our food??"

"... Well, I can just have a whole meal by myself but you'd be left hungry so it's your choice 😋"

🗿 the way he doesnt need long to be turned on is alwaya amazing to u but thats just how whipped he is and bro is a whole snack himself so WHOS complaining 😋💅

food's is guaranteed to taste heavenly but if he knows youve got time, then he'd make excuses to taste your cooking like

"Samu, it's been a while since I've gotten to taste your cooking." "Aww, was it that delicious for you? Hmm but I actually prefer your cooking!"

Time for some cooking and baking lessons together, eoow 💅 with the occasional make out session because the sauce found it's way on your lips and he just had to clean it up with his 😭😋

honestly despite all of some of the difficulties, dazai would never fail in making you feel loved in his own way even tho u gotta peel back some layers 🗿

At the end of the day, his bear hugs and many kisses are smth u love to come back home to after work

also doesnt say it but would def be a house husband for u 🤩 with the occasional "whoops gotta go and do smth quick" text and he comes home at like midnight skks bc the agency needs his cute ass 😋 but dw dinner's ready and house chores have been done so enjoy ur evening after work, zurlie 💅

dont kill me for this but id give him a 7.5/10 😭

Obsessed with him and i love him but it would prob be really really exhausting to get him to FULLY trust you and its honestly understandable

Also he kinda makes me feel like i'd have to walk on eggshells around him because you often dont really know what hes thinking 😭😭

could smile at u while thinking "why u so ugly" 😭😭

also bro is so smooth, its scary like he'd prob make us forget immediately that hes trying to find out everything about us(why he sounding like a stalker 😨😨 wouldnt want him to be MY stalker 😨😨 or would I?? 🤩) MY DELULU BRAIN 👹

Doppo Kunikida

😨 Cleaning maniac

personification of the verse "I can COOk, i can CLEAN" (i know its "dont" instead of can but we all know hes like perfect house husband material... maybe a bit too perfect 💀💀💀👹)

If u forgot a cup on the dinner table, he'd legit take the cup, put it in ur hand and be like "why did u leave it there if u r not using it"

WILL def rant about why u shouldnt do it

Honestly huge nagging mom vibes 💀💀

At the beginning of moving in together, he'd just clean everything without a word whatsoever

Like you wanna help around the house too? NUH UH, he already finished everything up.

Vaccuming the house? Done

Swiping? Lmao be sure to not arrive at home after work around that time bc u gotta stand at the door and WAIT until the floor is dried 💀😭

Dishes have been done like at 5 in the fucking morning 💀👹

Bro thankfully doesn't wash clothes that often (gotta be careful of the water bill 😭) but there r days where he legit throws his clothes nearly everyday bc the worse the mission the more blood yk 🗿🗿

U had to legit drag his ass to the couch to talk to him bc he gonn be deep clean the house if someone doesnt stop him

"Kuni, you literally don't need to do EVERYTHING by yourself! I'm also here to help and frankly, it feels like you're my maid sometimes 😞" " Don't worry. Everything fits perfectly in my time plan and since you sometimes work overtime, it's better if I do a bit more of it."

... "🗿 You are legit saving this city from being destroyed so often and I just sit in the office, bro 🤡" "I understand your argument but I have seen the way you look tired so often so let me take a bit of your burden"

He knows how to make us go "🥺"

The argument prob went on for an hour until yall settled on making a plan on who does what on which days and if someone's gotta work overtime or sum then the other takes a bit of it over and so on

So in the end its alrighty 🎉

Groceries and so on are never a problem except it sometiems turns out like going shopping with your mom because...

"Omg Kuni, look!!" *holds up cute decoration* "We could put this on our dinner table! Isn't it cute 🥺??"

Bro just takes it from you and looks at the price. Legit gives you the 🤨 look

"That's 937,32 Yen (around 6€) 🤨🤨. For a tiny statue of a dog? We could find it somewhere way cheaper." "🥺 But it's a limited edition and it reminds me of you bc its got the same fur color 🥺. It's even got ur glasses on 🥺"

Bro will say no but the day after you spot the dog on the table 🤡

Yall lying in bed together and cuddle so give him a peck on the lips while killing him with your cute ass smile (U MURDERER 🗿🗿)

"What was that for?" "Hmmm, well I just noticed that said statue magically appeared on our table. You think it was a cute long haired fairy with glasses and a grumpy look 😋? "

He tries really hard to deadpan at you but the corner of his lips still tug upwards as he pinches your nose

"Well, sometimes its not so bad to buy a little extra, I guess."

If theres a market nearby with some really good deals then you'd either be dragged together with him or he'd come home after work with tons of bags

Always surprises you in how good he is at negotiating about the price

Sometimes you gotta stop him from arguing with some of the shop keepers because some decided to sell some items way too overpriced 🗿🗿🗿

you once found him stay up all night researching about reasonable prices for veggies... 😨

and cue to yall standing in the morning infront of said shop keeper getting absolutely destroyed in an argument by your man.. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Well guess who even got some extra free stufd because kuni terrified the shit out of him 😋

"Thank you for your hard work in harvesting and selling us these delicious vegetables. My wife is quite a fan of them." Your husband said as he put the money into the shop keepers shaky hands, face red in embarassement as he squeezed out a "It's nothing." between his teeth. His face paled at the words "We'll see each other next Monday. Until then have a great week." leaving your man's mouth as he gave him a friendly smile before taking your hand and going to the next stall,only for you to sheepishly wave goodbye to the shop keeper before going with your husband.

"Well, you gave him quite the scare back there." You said as you felt him squeeze your hand a bit tighter, the bustling of the array of people only increasing by minutes. "Someone had to correct his ways. It would help his sales but only if he's willing to take that advice seriously." he simply answered as he looked at the contents of the bag, counting the ingredients left to purchase.

"Well atleast we got ourselves more than we needed so we can go home and call it a day." "Who are you?" Chuckling at your surprised face out of the corner of his eyes, he continued to make his way towards the end of the market, to finally reach your car.

"I thought over your words and I do believe it would be nice to" laze around together "for once in a while. Everything in the house has already been done, so maybe we could try out that one series you've been talking about. The reviews seem to be quite positive about it."

He just lets a breathy laugh escape his lips at your squeal while you begin to rant on why its gonna be so good watching it and

UUUUGGHHGH 😭😭😭😭 GIVE ME KUNIKIDAAAAAAAGHHHHHH 😭😭😭🤡🤡👹👹👹

honestly there are like no real red flags like his red flags are disguised green flags and yall can legit work through it easily

The only thing would be his tendency to overwork himself and it could lead to an argument but never a real fight because hes pretty easy to reason with

Like even when hes stubborn, he'll STILL listen to your words because the many good things about him that he'd always make sure to take your words seriously 🗿🗿

which sometimes makes it tempting to tease him bc we can lowkey understand why dazai easily tells him the most outrageous shit and your man just casually writes it down in his notebook 😭

"That damn idiot managed to fool me again by telling me that aliens have been among us (AMOGUS 👹) and that the goverment has been hiding it from us for decades." "I thought you already knew about that tho?"

"What" "What?"

"Wait so they're real?"

Cue to him showing him a video (that dazai sent to you a week ago just for this moment 😭)

Lmao dont tease him too much tho but dw, he cant stay mad at you at all lmao 😋💅

Honestly a 8.5/10 bc his nagging scares me 💀😭

Edogawa Ranpo

"Greatest Detective" more like "Queen of Gaslightining" 👹👹

Everyone knows hes way too obsessed with sweets but how the hell is his teeth actually still existing 🗿🗿

ngl i believe fukuzawa would prob sometimes just randomly ask him if he brushed his teeth bc he lowkey lowkey raised him ok 🤡

Ranpo is all nice like "yup, i did." but when u ask him, hes a whole b*tch about it

"Hah??? Why would you ask me that?? Do you really believe that I'd be so dumb to forget about brushing my teeth? If i can solve the most difficult cases then why would you assume that brushing my teeth might something that I'd forget, huuuhh??"

His gaslightining used to work at the beginning of ur relationship but sooner or later its not hard to notice his patterns 🗿

Like yas ok, he could just put up a whole ass strategy in how to not get u to notice that he didnt brush em at all but bro

Hes too lazy

And hes a sucker for attention 😩 like he might be "annoyed" if u nag at him bc of smth but he absolutely loves it bc its just one of his many ways to get ur attention without him having to actively get up and get it for himself 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Hes a huge clown but i love him 😭

Dazai tends to forget his socks or smth lying on the floor but THIS mf right here just doesnt rly care 😭

Like that was the first thing u noticed when u entered his apartment 🤡

Its not right out messy on a disgusting degree, its more like theres tons of trinkets n shit from cases or just random candy wrap hidden under the couch 💀💀💀

The epitome of "I can do it tomorrow" bc bro doesnt forget, he just IGNORES that he has to do it 😭

might take a while to actually get him to yk do smth around the house

used to prob only sleep and shower at his apartment and thats it💀

But when hes whipped then hes whipped and hed actually try his best to help around the house

Key word "try" 🤡

Like its often tbh accompanied by "okay, ill do it but only if i get smth"

A MANCHILD, I SAY 👹👹👹👹

But there are days when he legit deep cleans everything by himself bc either you had a bad day or yall had a fight 👹👹

still would whip out the "now gimme something, please 😋" if yall cuddle after a fight and he cleaned and tidied everything up for his love 🤩

doesnt always have to be candy yk HEUEHEUEHEUUE 👹👹👹👹👹

also its not a surprise but dont let him near the kitchen

HE COULD

HE RLY COULD COOK SO WELL

Like he had only cooked for ONE time and it was like a fever dream

Bc u legit had a fever and he cooked chicken soup but uhm 🗿

he cooked it so good??? Like veggies n meat cut and cooked up nicely?

Broth kicking in real hard?

Like? "What the hell? I thought you couldn't cook??"

Bro is about to put that spoon fr away 💀

"I'm not so heartless to let you starve and I definitely wont be giving you some cheap soup either. I just looked it up on the internet and followed the instructions so you gotta get well soon because I miss your cooking 🤩🤩"

Are we flattered?? Gurl, maybe but he'd def know if we tried to make ourselves be sick to taste his cooking again

Bro only offers to help when it comes to baking 😪😮‍💨😮‍💨

His only help is licking the dough or chocolate outta the bowl or smth 😀

would sneak in many kisses tho bc he likes u and sweet stuff is just sugar overload for him and he loves it 🤩

I think one of the important factors for him in a relationship is that fukuzawa approves of you? Since he does value his opinion over his own intellect

Like bro trusted him when it came to Fukichi and other ppl 💀

fukuzawa could legit go "aliens r evil" and ranpo would be like "ok everyone, aliens are evil!!!!" 🗿🗿🗿

honesrly i dont think why there would be a reason for fukuzawa not to accept you (if there is one then time to take 100 steps back and reflect on urself 💀)

He'd prob be impressed on how u even fell in love with him bc.. its ranpo💀

petty, clingy, can be manipulative ( but never with ill intentions), would legit prank ur ass bc he can, impatient and quickly bored af

But hes attentive, kind, can be patient when it comes down to it, empathetic (depends sksks) (also thank u fukuzawa for kinda ramming that into his head 🤩), affectionate in his own way (a sucker for physical touch but would NEVER right out admit it 🗿) and so much more honestly

there arent any real red flags tbh (might come as a surprise for some ppl)

Maybe maybe he'd obviously have a bit of difficulty fully opening up and i do believe there might be times where he once or twice legit deducted what ur feelings r for him bc hes used to being careful around people and especially bc in case someonw could randomly target the agency

Or is some kinda criminal in general

But honestly when hes learned to trust you then you know youve got yourself someone loyal 💅 and i mean FR loyal

personal favorite hc and honestly prob canon since we've already seen it : he'd not be ashamed to throw hands at someone when he thinks you're being insulted or harassed

And with hands i mean exposing them to 100% until they are pissing their pants and begging him to leave them alone 🤩🤩🤩

Also also, gives me off a similar vibe to dazai with the "maybe having to walk on eggshells" around them but ranpo doesnt make you feel as watched tbh as dazai which would kinda make it easier to talk to

but bro isnt as smooth as him so whOOP 💀💀

Overall iconic and a solid 8/10 🤩🤩🤩💕💕💕

The random ratings i gave them LMAO 💀💀💀 hope u like em 🗿

hi!,

i kinda just been a lurker on yr blog since im pretty new to hyperfixating on western bands. but i learned abt hanoi rocks and got obsessed😭. i think theyre gonna take up a corner of my mind for a longtime honestly. but i was wondering if youd do an angsty imagine on razzles girlfriend(user) letting him join hanoi after having been in her band cus she dosent wanna hold him back. but shes worried hes gonna move on and leave her.. so she pushes him away first. if you seen the manga NaNa then its kinda like NaNa Os relationship with the sid vicious inspired guy...(ren😒) . but she sees him again while on tour with her lesser known band in scotland and then sees him again and feelings start again.. srry if i rambled in the ask. you can make it hurt no comfort if you like. or comfort either way dealers choice i just thought itd be cool. anyways srry for bad grammer im still learning english😭 yr a great writer btw

hey love! I did my best, without having read NaNa lol. Im totally here for your newfound Hanoi obsession tho!

Summary: Razzle leaves his girlfriend's band for the oprotunity to play in the up and coming band, Hanoi Rocks. She wants him to take the oprotunity and do his best, but she worries he will leave her, so she takes action first. A year later, she meets Raz and his bandmate Nasty while she's playing a show in Scotland...

Note: I reference Raz as Nick/Nicky a couple times, for those of you who don't know, his real name was Nicholas :)

Warnings: A wee bit of alcohol, swearing, angst

Everlong - Razzle Dingley

Isle of Wight - May 2, 1981

MC5 was blasting on the stereo. There was a breeze coursing through the cracked window of the apartment, and it was just warm enough outside to not mind a draft. You were laying on the couch, joint in hand, watching smoke circle and dance in the sunlit air. You heard keys clatter and the door open, while Razzle struts in with a mile wide grin on his face. He threw his keys on the counter and did a giddy spin to face you.

"How's it going, love?" He bit his lip, still smiling wide, and sat next to you on the couch. How his smile was so contagious was a mystery, but he was the one person who never failed to brighten your mood.

"Better than ever, what's up with you? What are you dancing for?" you asked, eager to know what made him so excited. You loved when he came home with good news, or whenever he was in a good mood. He turned down the stereo a bit and motioned for you to sit up. He took both your hands after you put out the joint on the porcelian ashtray on the coffee table.

"You know the band we saw the other night? Hanoi?"

"Hanoi Rocks? The Heartbreakers cover band?" you questioned, wondering how that could have much to do with his mood.

"No, they're not a cover band, they're legit! And they asked me to be their drummer. They've been at our shows!" He started to ramble about the band and how he met the guys. He sounded so excited, and you were excited because he was excited. Hell, he was thrilled. But all while he was telling you all wonderful things about this offer he'd gotten, the question of what it meant for you popped into your head.

"Wait, Nicky, are you gonna be their drummer?"

"Well, yeah! They're like, number one in Sweden and Finland and they've got a record deal and everything, and..." He looked back into your eyes and realized how the news might've made you feel.

"Wait love, are you worried that I wouldn't be in our band anymore? I don't plan to leave, I just think it's a good oprotunity for us to-"

"No, no, it's great news, Nicky! That's great, really. Don't worry about me, I know it'll all work out." You smiled and tried to sound as genuine as possible. He was so uplifted by the chance he was given, and you knew he was worthy of it without a doubt. In that moment, you really believed in those words, despite the underlying worry that continued to stir in your head as the next months came and went, and you ended up seeing Razzle less and less.

July 10, 1981

It was summer, a heat wave was crumbling over London. The band was supposed to be playing a gig later in the evening at some pub, it would be the first time in weeks. Razzle was no longer staying with you, but rather in Tooting Bec with a crowd of guys who wore makeup. You were starting to become a little bitter over him seeming to fade out like a tv screen. Razzle was late for the fourth gig in a row. He had bigger priorities.

He came crashing clumsily through the doors backstage of this pub, drumsticks in hand, eyes dilated. “where’s me kit? did’jya bring my kit?” someone coldly cut him off, “yes.” Everyone was becoming more irritated with him, but you loved him. You loved him so much it didn’t matter, not yet.

The band sounded like shit. You filed your way offstage, at this point, the thrill of playing music in this situation had just about worn off. Your love for the man in the striped pants with dyed red hair who drunkenly rode the cymbal through gigs? It could never subside. But there was a resentment that was buried underneath the fertile dirt that was your love for him. When the rest of the band made it backstage to the dressing rooms, you told him off.

“want to get some drinks?” he asked openly, all happy - go - lucky as typical, as though the band had not sounded like complete shit and as though he was entirely punctual. As though he wasn’t fleeting from you.

“Nicke! Stop it! Do you know how we sounded tonight? Do you think it was even worthy of drinks?” You shouted, red faced, which shocked everyone in the room into thick silence. “Does it even matter to you? You’re drunk as hell right now already.” Razzle looked at you, confounded and sad. You felt bad instantly, but you felt helpless. You didn’t know what to do. Your breathing was heavy and it was not enough. The things you felt were entirely inexplicable, at least in the moment.

“I quit.”

Scotland - February 3, 1984

You had grown to like winters in Scotland. It was still green everywhere, even despite the snow and grey clouds. There were old but lively pubs on every street of the city you’d moved to, which made life exciting for you and your new band. Music was alive and well in Scotland. Bands came from every corner of the continent.

”let’s go, guys, we need you up here!” someone called from outside the backstage dressing room. It was small and cramped with four other people, but the band was like family, as every good band is.

“okay, let’s go.” you grabbed a pick and followed a roadie to the stage, stepping into warm lighting and getting a good look at the medium audience. Going onstage for the start of the show was a good feeling again.

Everyone had fun, playing a mix of originals and covers that everyone in the crowd seemed to know and sing or dance along to. By the time you’d make it offstage, everything was a blurry, warm haze that put a smile on your face. Half of the band would head home after the gig, half would stay and drink. Usually you’d be one to head home, but tonight you decided to stay and roam around the bar with the guitarist, Judie. She was lively and outgoing, introducing herself as the lead guitarist of the band that just ‘killed it’. You would sit back humbly and raise your glass to her. You felt like there was something missing. Something that was very much present, but just barely out of reach. You were caught off guard by a hand on your shoulder and a familiar scent that washed over you. You spun around faster than a bullet from a gun. Razzle.

“y/n!” He smiled half - confidently, in the unmistakable voice of his that was normally loud, but in this instance, gentle. A smile spread wide across your face and you launched yourself into a hug. He laughed heartily as you spun around.

“Nicke!” a tear even fell from your eye as you clung onto him. “you dyed your hair back” you laughed softly.

“back to black” he nodded, hugging you tighter. Another guy about Razzle’s height with the same haircut, wearing sunglasses on his head waved subtly from behind Raz. He let go of you and whipped his head around.

“Oh, this is Nasse. He’s a finn and a great guitarist.” he turned to Nasty, “this is y/n.” Nasty nodded, recognizing your name.

“hello, luv.” You smiled at him shyly. Razzle pulled on your arms.

“Holy fuck, you guys were amazing!” He remembered the show you’d just put on with the band. It was pretty amazing. You smiled proudly. In that moment, spent with cheers and clinks of glasses, reliving the warmth and everlasting love of each other’s presence seemed to erase the memories of the rough times. Sure, they’d be back someday. Sure, the moment wouldn’t last forever, and maybe the chemistry you used to have would never be the way it was, but it was a moment when you were back home. There was no need to catch up, things were right back where they left off years ago, before any disagreements, when you were just kids. He gave you his hat and promised you’d see more of him from then on. And that was it.

[almost-caviar]

i love... voice polycules.. Urm. cold/skeptic/paranoid PLS 🗣️🙏

Startin off with a good one hehas

Yaps under ze cut

First I want to mention the funny haha height difference, as compared to the two corvids, Cold is TOWERING (especially to Skeptic, who's a magpie) and also his wingspan as well, HUGE wingspan compared to Para and Skeppy

Anyway onto more of the ship aspect

I think these three would really get each other,,, Para would def be the most vocal of the bunch

Oorghhh Cold and Skep would be so good at calming Para down and backing him up on anything,,,,, Para would be worried about absolutely everything including its partners and will defo make sure those two aren't doing anything that'll get them hurt (lord Para is not wrong tho)(Para will still fuss at Cold even if void says void doesn't feel anything) Para still loves his idiot boyfriends to death tho <3

I think Para would defo have many breakdowns over not being a good partner or not knowing its own feelings or something happening to them,,,, teehees :3€

Cold would also care for their partners but more in the background, making sure Skep and Para don't go through unnecessary pain (he'd def make fun of them if they got hurt stupidly (knowing the other two are fine with it)), I think void'd be pretty good at comforting them when it comes down to it. He also revels in the height difference, it's especially fun to mess with Skeppy about it- Cold is very entertained with his partners hehe

(I'll admit out of all the voices, Skeppy is the one I really need to pay more attention to- this might be lackluster I apologise-)

Skep would definitely rant his theories to his boyfriends bcuz he knows and trusts that the two will listen to what he has to say and really /get/ it, yknow? And I think he'd want to learn a lot about his partners, they are very interesting critters to him,,, I think he'd try to act stoic, but this man definitely stims to himself when he thinks no one is watching me thinks hehe- He'd pick up so many items and gift them to Cold and Para because he's a man that can connect dots, and his brain connects them ALL THE TIME. Like,, "oo shiny rock. Cold's eyes are pretty shiny. I should give this to void" "oh this is a pretty leaf. The patterns are very similar to Paranoid's. I'm gonna give it to him later" kinda shit, and the two appreciate all of them. I like to think Skeppy would be the type to mirror actions, so he might pick up a stim/nervous tic or two from his partners

God these three would sleep huddled together with cold covering them with its wings adjjfmgkg

[squarebracketsmileyface]

The gender exploration fic officially has a name now :D

It's gonna be "My Girl, My Girl, My Girl (You Will Be)" because Tim's Girl, Jay Will/could Be (eventually, they're working towards it slowly 💀) or just MGx3 (cos MG times 3 lol) for short because that's a bit of a long name and I really can't be bothered to write it out a bunch of times all the time but yay :D

I'm planning out the plot outline and chapters at the moment, which is going vaguely well, tho I'm trying to keep some kinda storyline behind it as well as it just showing what Tim and Jay get up to in their free time through August to December (cough cough their sex life through that time period). Figuring out how to keep the MH side of the story rolling is a bit tricky, because looking at the actual, irl entries, not a lot actually happens in those four months 💀

Like, Tim and Jay fight over that tape and stop working together. Jay tries to attack Tim in his home and gets ziptied. Tim goes to Benedict hall and hoody helps Jay escape. Jay goes to Benedict hall. And then it's entry 80 and Jay's dying.

Like. So little happens across all the entries uploaded, but I don't want to give them much less time and just have it that the entries were uploaded really spaced apart after the events in them happened all at once, because I wanna write a whole bunch of smut for them lol. I gotta give Jam an excuse to not just go straight to Benedict hall pretty much immediately, because like, currently? What's stopping them? Literally nothing. They could go there halfway through August and still be as well prepared for it as they were in actual MH.

They probably did go earlier than the entries were posted in irl MH didn't they lol. But I need them to have those four months to be all happy couple together, I need itttttttttttt. I also need them to have those four months so Tim can learn a bit about IIAB and knock some sense into Jay's dumb little "woe is me I am nothing but the victim" brain and set him on the road to realising that what he did was very not okay even if he genuinely thought he was in the right/doing that Alex wanted him to do even at the sacrifice of his own comfort.

COS THAT'S A THING TOO, so much of Jay's pushiness and all that in IIAB came from a place of him genuinely thinking he was doing something for Alex rather than subjecting him to it.

It feels like such a fine balance to make sure Jay isn't irredeemable. He's not malicious with anything, he's just scared of losing people by not giving them what they want, and scared of not knowing what to do to not lose someone new.

Was it stupid for him to try the choking thing with Tim when the first time he tried it caused the breakdown of his and Alex's fwb relationship? Yes. It was so fucking stupid. But Jay was scared and hey either it was going to be fine, or it'd drive Tim away rather than letting him be the one to leave and Jay was still rather in the mindset of thinking Tim would leave him at some point and he couldn't stand the thought of that. It'd be much less painful if he drove Tim away.

He still kinda thinks that honestly.

Doing that kinda thing to get what he wanted from Alex had worked and been 'fine' every time up until Jay actually put himself in harms way with it. So like, he didn't exactly put two and two together while he was freaking out a bit with Tim.

Also with how it went with Alex that last time, Jay was still vehemently ignoring that he was even somewhat at fault for that fwb relationship ending. Sure he knew he'd done something wrong, but he refused to figure out exactly what and actually think about what that meant for himself. Alex never told him what he did so it was a lot easier to blame Alex and hate him rather than actually look at himself and his actions. It was also easier to think of it more as Amy taking Alex away from him, or poisoning Alex against him than to think that he was actually the reason for Alex finally telling him to fuck off.

No one wants to think they've done that. No one wants to think maybe they pushed for something someone doesn't want to do a little too hard, and really really hurt that person who they care about deeply.

Then there's the whole thing that a lot of what Jay did in uni, he also wasn't super comfy with? He was just so completely convinced it was what Alex wanted because of all their previous interactions. Then he got it so in his head that when Alex said he *didn't* Jay just couldn't wrap his head around it and assumed Alex was making *himself* uncomfy in order to try and cater to Jay's crush on him, and Jay much preferred being uncomfortable himself than making Alex uncomfortable.

And that's what he saw it as. He saw it as him sacrificing his own comfort for Alex's a lot of the time. Like, yes. He enjoyed the rougher sex and all that and they had a lot of times that I haven't actually specifically written where they just had fun with it and enjoyed it a hell of a lot. Most of their uni relationship wasn't bad. Most of their uni relationship was just kinda fine. Not great, neither of them were completely happy with it, but it wasn't the level of toxic that it could be all the time.

[beanghostprincess]

I have a rant regarding Usopp in the live action, one thing I noticed (and infuriated me) is the many many new fans that inmediatly "clocked" Usopp as the Straight Character™ and are therefore like "well I don't care about straight characters, so im going to ignore him, teehee" and AHHHH FIRST OF ALL IF YOU KNEW THE BISEXUAL VIBES THIS MAN EXUDES, and I don't even want to blame the Kaya kiss because it was cute and they're lovely together 😭 (tho I also see the pattern of which Character the Fandom decides are Straight™ and therefore ignored...)

But I also feel like maybe the Live Action didnt really give Usopp enough moments to shine, here's hoping for more (San)Usopp moments in the second season, they really underuse him in the first one

Okay, first of all, if you think Usopp is straight you're definitely reading his character wrong because look at him. Just look at him.

Yeah, no. This guy doesn't care about gender in the slightest.

And people assuming a guy is straight because he,,, Has a girlfriend,,, Wow,,, A bisexual man who kisses a woman,,, Who would've thought that bisexual people could fall in love with anyone,,, As if that wasn't the literal fucking definition of bisexual. And you could also headcanon him as gay or any other sexuality! Why does he have to be the straight character for having a girlfriend in canon? You can do whatever the fuck you want with it. Fuck canon. People make my blood boil. Also, the whole "I don't care about straight characters" thing is something SO common and it makes me so angry because-- First of all, who said he's straight? He's a fictional character, do whatever the fuck you want with him. And second, it's alright to like specifically queer characters because they give you comfort and representation, but instantly ignoring a character just because they are not queer? Uh. Like, I understand, but it gives me the ick. It's just weird. Off-putting. Because there's a thin line between focusing on the characters you think are queer for comfort and reducing them only to their sexuality and ignoring everything that matters in the show. But you know? I don't think that's exactly the issue here and we both know what it is. Like. Between you and me, anon, we both know.

I am white by the way and I'm not used to analyzing black characters in terms of how the fandom views them and stuff, but isn't it quite curious how Usopp is always the ignored character from the East Blue Crew, and he's often used as a comedy relief in OPLA? "He has a girlfriend and he's straight so we don't care abou-" Sanji has flirted with Nami. Visibly. In front of your fucking screen. And you don't say that about him. Or any other character, really. That's just an excuse and we know and everyone knows and you don't have to analyze shit to know this because it's obvious. And if somebody comes at me saying "oh! But it's just because his personality is softer and he's a coward and most people hate that in shonens so he's a boring character" I am going to fucking combust because everyone knows that if Usopp were white EVERYBODY would be calling him a baby boy and a soft boy and a cutie pie and he'd be one of the favorites (cofcof Koby cofcof) (<- I love him too btw but you know what I mean).

That being said, OPLA doesn't even give Usopp enough screen time to be a character because his personality there is used to crack a few jokes and have THE romance in the show. That's it. He's the comedy relief character and the one who gets the girl because Netflix would cancel the show first before not doing any romance. God forbid people read between the lines, oh my God (<- I love Usokaya and everyone knows btw I am not complaining I cried when they kissed. I'm just saying that that's quite literally all he does. But Usokaya my beloved).

His OWN arc in OPLA is stolen by the screentime used for the Marines and Luffy is the one doing the work. They don't let Usopp follow through with what he actually does in the manga and it's very frustrating not being able to see him shine IN HIS OWN ARC. They barely give him any important scenes in comparison to the other characters. It's incredibly infuriating. See? I am now infuriated.

And now a lot of people watching OPLA have said they prefer OPLA Usopp rather than Manga!Anime!Usopp or that the live-action has made them like him better. I don't know what bothers me the most, really. People literally don't care about the characters, they just want them if they're hot. Which, by the way, it's insulting because if you don't find Manga!Anime!Usopp hot ?????? Please, go to the ophthalmologist because I think you need glasses.

I really hope we get more Usopp moments (hehe and Sanuso moments. My beloveds. They got their four cute short scenes in OPLA and I was the happiest person alive) next season because otherwise, I am going to fucking lose it.

Dear Mom,

I write you letters every year, and it's usually the same kind of thing... but this year so far has been so eventful, I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit all of this in this piece of paper! Our family has grown so much bigger than before, and life has become more hectic... It makes me feel guilty, but part of me prefers this—there's more people to talk to, both new faces and old ones that have found their way back to our home. It's nice, even if sometimes it hurts. It can be awkward to have more people around especially when sometimes my company is not welcome. Was it like this when you were around, mom? I'm sure you're wondering about dad too. If you were here you'd be so worried for him. He's so stressed out and he doesn't sleep as much as he should... I'm to blame for that too, I betrayed him just to find out more about myself. I'm sorry your daughter turned out to be so selfish... I hope you don't hate me for it. I've been trying to make up for it, trying to be more useful and trying to reassure him. I just wish that he'd let us take care of him more—was he this stubborn when he was younger? If I could be stronger, maybe I'd be better at this. How do you become stronger, mom? Please, please tell me. I need you. If you were here instead of me, maybe daddy would be happier. ♡♡♡♡♡ The fact that Uncle Sonic has been around more is especially awkward. I've told you about it before. I can see that he's trying to get closer to my dad but... it's a bit painful to watch? Maybe a bit cringeworthy. Haha I know it's been a long time since I've sent you drawings, and I suck at drawing but here's how our family looks like right now ❀

In order: Little Kit, Chronos, Dad, Me, Uncle Mighty and Uncle Ray! All of the new members are from a different dimension, cool huh? ♡♡♡ I'm still a bit awkward with some of them but it'll be okay! Uncle Mighty is so kind and strong, he could probably lift me with one finger! Without trying! I am still wanting to ask about his quad routine. I just hope everyone will be okay. Chronos gave us a scare at the Easter party and I couldn't do much of anything, but he's back home and he's been... not really resting, but hopefully recovering well enough. He's a lot like dad—I guess he is him from somewhere else, but he's also not... It's a bit confusing really... I think he's a good big brother, though. He teases me sometimes but he can also be really kind, and he's SUPER good to little Kit! He takes such good care of him, it's kind of adorable. Doesn't let me be near him much tho 💢💢💢 BWAH!! Little Kit has been making friends at least! He's kind of quiet and very sleepy. I think Chronos has mentioned he's nocturnal, but he's always napping. He can have a temper though! His water powers are really cool to see in action.. AND HE HAD SO MUCH FUN AT EASTER!! Before things went awry tho but I did snap some cute pictures... Oh and there's a really mean, really weird kid living on the roof now. I don't even know. I wish you could meet all of them, though. Maybe an alternate version of you will come along or something, who knows at this point! Life has been hectic and confusing but much more interesting. I guess in the end this is what I wanted... I just hope there's no more hurt, I don't want to see them hurting again. I can't do anything about it because I'm not good at comforting anyone really. There's only so much baking sweets will do... Maybe that's something else I need to reflect on. Talking to you always makes me feel better, mom.. I love you. I promise I will do my very best. Happy Mothers Day! Love, Blossom. ❀❀❀

ok so in direct contrast to ~both his siblings lakjsdfkjlds tristan is the most genuine guy in the world like!!! if he tells you smth, he believes that thing!!! he legit wants you to know how valued and amazing you are and he will tell you!! idk how smooth he'd be abt that tho ngl...but he'd be earnest enough to hopefully make up for any failures of that kind. he's kind of a quiet person tho so this isn't really where he shines ngl and its def not his default mode of expressing how much he cares, tristan is a man of action(tm) as i mentioned above so he's more here to ~show you that stuff; he'll like stumble over the words but he! will! try!!!!!! if that's what the situation calls for!!!

real talk, i do think his siblings/not!parents being such large-scale liar-manipulator types who use language that way really kinda soured him on this mode of love language early on bc he hears ppl say smth and he goes 'idk that they're being sincere! doesn't seem like ppl are v sincere v often!' as he got older and met more ppl he realized that this pov was skewed and now he feels super guilty abt his gut reaction of distrust but anyway!!! he will try but its not his thing!!!

this makes me sad but...idk how much experience he honestly truly has w someone telling him they love him and not having any doubt whatsoever that they mean it ngl (ironically both his siblings ~do love him but they've lied abt sm and treated him badly so often he's like 'who knows!!') :( but yeah that lack of experience means he doesn't really know how to go abt doing that himself either so he's just kinda gotta feel his way along in the dark towards that one!! good luck to everyone!!

physical touch

i think this is one that tristan really values!! again, another way to ~show affection, yknow? squeezing someone's hand is more eloquent in his mind than tryna string together a bunch of words they probs won't even fully believe (skewed view again but here we are)

inversely for godfrey, i think tristan has almost a sense of yearning for their poverty, bc that's when he could trust in his siblings??? ofc he feels guilty af for the stuff they did out of desperation back then, but he also misses the certainty he had, then: knowing where they all stood and that they all had e/o's backs, smth he hasn't felt he's had since, yknow? so while physical touch bringing him back to those times horrifies godfrey, if anything that comforts tristan.

however, i don't think its as intrinsically a part of that time for him, either, like it is for godfrey. tristan was still a boy when they left kolchis and joined roderick's court, he was still being taught knightley arts, and went on to ~be a knight, etc and, being so physical a thing, touch isn't as sharply associated w a particular time in his life or anything. it just is. and to him, its warm and amicable and v nice! so yeah tristan is def the smile and put a hand on your shoulder type, just lil affectionate moments like that thoughtlessly given in lieu of words or smth

ofc, this is different w eithne ~specifically, bc there's attraction there and so touching her doesn't feel casual at alllll and that's largely how he uses touch: to casually say, 'hey, you, i care abt you' (godfrey: god pls stoP the psychological warfare ldkajsfkljsdf), sO w eithne he's in this weird push-pull of wanting to touch her but...not quite daring to presume to do it and!! yeah! lakdjsfksjdf

giving/receiving gifts

ok so you know that scene from the mummy where rick really really shyly comes up to evey and gives her a tiny lil archeology kit??? that is tristan w giving gifts!! like...he is v eager bc he saw that thing and it made him think of you and he thinks you'd love it!! but also he's weirdly awkward/a lil too raw abt it, while ~also tryna play that its casual but anxiously looking back to see if you like it?!! bc he just wants to make you happy!! #facepalm

but yeah this one is rare for him. generally, he'll only do this when like giving a gift is expected or else he saw smth that just made him go !! thinking of you and just...had to...even then he'll try to just keep it for one of the traditional gift-giving times and play it off or whatever but yeah!! there it is

i do think tristan ~is in general a lil clumsy in the use of pr much all his love languages -- but esp the more overt ones like this -- bc, again, not a lot of experience there!! and not a lot of faith that even the ppl ~he loves/values feels the same, so i think it does always feel like this giant, awful leap where you'll probs get slammed pr hard at the end but!! its worth it to try!! ppl deserve to know it when someone cares abt them, and he believes that v strongly. i think, tho, the divide does kinda come in when it leaps from care/value/friendship to bigger feelings of love, whether platonic or not, yknow? but whther love or casual affection, he still wants you to know at the v least that he values you!!

quality time

another homerun for tristan!! if you can play off affection casually, tristan is gonna be a lil better at that and!! honestly just spending time w the ppl you love is what its really all abt, isn't it??? i also don't think its a coincidence that this is one of godfrey's most-used love languages and that tristan is pr fluent in it/really loves it!! it is unfortunate but its also the truth that poor tristan did in fact learn how to love from his siblings klajsdfkljsdf #yikes but!! yeah!!

anyway, tristan is probs looking to be a lil more actively engaged w you when spending quality time, than godfrey necessarily is -- he'd be content to just hang out but he doesn't wanna feel like we're ignoring e/o he wants to actively engage w you, chat or go somewhere or do some shared activity!! in a modern au, game nights would be his idea of a good time! movie date nights where he can just hold his girl and they can enjoy being together while being told a story together would be his jam! but anyway he's got none of that so let him hold your yarn while you knit or smth or go on a walk w you!! if he can help you w smth while hanging out w you??? better yet bc the big one for him is in fact...

acts of service 

so here we are!! tristan's go-to love language!! this can be anything from helping you get smth down from the high shelf to fully putting life and limb on the line for you, but whatever it is you need he wants to give it to you!!

tristan doesn't even necessarily need/want credit, he just wants you taken care of and the self-satisfaction of knowing that he's been a positive influence on your existance, even if that's just from the sidelines. he's not someone whose looking to get anything out of you, he just wants to give to you!!

in fact, he'd probs be a lil embarrassed if you knew it was him bc he ~does get in his head abt being like godfrey and AM I MAKING THIS PERSON FEEL OBLIGED TO RESPOND bc he wants! it! to! be! real!!!!! more than anything!!!!! if someone reached out to him, he doesn't want to be afraid anymore that it isn't ~really for him but for smth else bc he's been burned that way too many times. sadly, bc of that he always ~will be afraid that its not real even if there's no real reason to doubt it just bc of his past, bc he ~does have this lil voice in the back of his head that always kinda doubts that he's wanted/loved by the ppl he loves most. sadly, that's true w all the love languages but yeah

anyway!!! tristan regards this as the purest love bc its just helping someone!!! improving their life!! and they don't have to respond, he just wants to do it bc they deserve that!!!! and he can make a difference for them!!! and at the end of the day that's all he wants from his life: to make a positive difference to the ppl he loves. tristan is a deeply idealistic person, and this one vibes veeeery strongly w his ideals!!

HONEST ASK GAME, NERO:

7, 18, 32, 49, 12

AVENTURINE:

19, 24, 28, 40, 47

OCELOT:

48, 29, 2, 21, 35

Did I bombarde you with asks? Maybe. Don’t feel pressured to do them all.

i know i don't have to answer them all

BUT MY HONOR DEMANDS IT

(honest ask game)

NERO

7. Does the character’s age matter to you?

nnnnnot as such, no. i'd really really like to see him at like age 40 though. for reasons.

12. If you could write effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what story (s) would you write for this character?

obvs the victorian twins AU we talked about where him and weiss are escaped from hojo's evil orphanage and became wealthy and then there's a murder mystery and zack and cloud are police detectives and vincent is a broody priest. OH AND SCARLET IS THE QUEEN WITH POOR REEVE AS HER ADVISOR 😂 oh man i really want to write that

OH OH ALSO THAT ONE THAT ONE where nero and weiss have become gods on some other planet, and chaos vincent shows up but he doesn't remember being human anymore and nero sort of tames him and recivilizes him. do you remember when we talked about that one? where vincent is like "Why do you call me father?" and nero's just like "Long story, old man." and also weiss keeps accidentally teaching his human worshippers ridiculous things

17. Have you ever felt physical pain over this character? (ex: physical heartache).

only all the time. he's so tragic and beautiful and sad

18. Do you prefer to see this character suffer or know peace? Angst or comfort? Both?

i want him to BE happy and have peace. i want to READ about him suffering terribly before he gets his comfort. it's a thing

32. If you could make this character a meal, what would you make them?

weiss dick lollipop 🍭

fr tho, he doesn't strike me as a food motivated type. i'd rather make him espresso and a nice dessert like tiramisu or creme brulee. i think he'd like things like that

49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?

his absolute, unwavering, end-of-the-line loyalty to his brother. whether it's romantic or not, doesn't matter, he LOVES weiss with his whole heart. he loves another person above himself and above anything else, to the exclusion of all others, to the point of never giving up hope, never stopping what he's doing to save him, to the point of fusing their souls together and walking into omega with him.

nero has the most pure and unshakeable moral compass any character in that whole game franchise has, and they gave it to a gay incestuous edgelord villain. i can never thank square enough for nero.

now i think of it, he has a lot of parallels with ocelot 🤔

AVENTURINE

19. Does this character serve as a stress ball/ security blanket for you? Something you run to after a bad day to feel safe or happier?

THIS MOTHERFUCKER. let me tell you. he was the OPPOSITE of a stress ball for me. he turned ME into a fucking stressball. when i thought he died, i literally got too sad to use star rail as my happyfuntimes escape mechanism, and went and got into FF7. that's how bad this fucking twink bitch fucked me up.

IF ANYONE EVER HURTS HIM AGAIN I STG I WILL NANOOK YOUR FUCKING PLANET INTO THE NIHILITY SO HARD EVEN QLIPOTH WON'T BE ABLE TO PRESERVE YOUR SHIT DON'T TEST ME

24. Do you ever dream about this character? If so, describe a dream you once had about them.

i never dream about characters and if i do it's never anything fun. like i had that one dream where me and Cloud Strife were just hugging and crying. and one where i was sleeping next to vincent and his body was really cold. what a dream-loser 😂

28. Do you get defensive about this character? If yes, then why?

i only got defensive of him in the game, from the actions of other characters in the game. no one is ever mean to him in fandom that i have seen, because i would fucking throw down.

40. Are you very empathetic towards this character? When they feel a certain way in the story, do you feel those emotions too?

i don't even want to talk about it. this little bastard. i hate him so much he makes me sick

47. Does this character ever make you laugh sincerely?

actually a lot of the shit he does is pretty funny, but then HE MAKES YOU PAY FOR IT IN TEARS

REVOLVER OCELOT:

2. Did you always like this character?

i loved him the absolute second i saw him. the very first fanfic i ever wrote was because of him. my forever beloved

21. Are your feelings about this character platonic, romantic, or familial? All of these feelings at once maybe?

astronomical

29. Do you affectionately bully this character?

fuck no are you kidding me? he'd shoot me in the fucking eye if he found out i even considered the IDEA of bullying him

35. Has this character ever prevented you from sleeping because you can’t stop thinking about them?

do you count the sleep i lose when on a writing bender, because if so, yes. lots.

48. What’s your favorite physical/design feature for this character?

everything. he is literally perfect in every way. from the precious little twink in the ocelot unit uniform and gay beret, to the old-ass gay uber-daddy with the long white hair and disturbingly shredded torso.

i have never cried so hard as i did during that bossfight with ocelot on the platform where him and old snake inject each other with the serum and it plays all the themes as he gradually gets his memory back and if anyone claims they didn't they're lying or they don't have a soul suck my dick ocelot haters

anyway thank you for the asks i'm gonna go listen to the MGS4 start screen music on repeat and drink a bottle of goldschlager

Hi! This might be a little weird of a request (I don’t know how logic works 😀) but could we get Xiao, scara, and Heizou (or literally anyone else) with a reader with a ghost type ability..like they can just randomly disappear and walk through walls?

It's not weird, it's actually pretty interesting! So it's easy to say that I enjoyed it as I like to write for all characters here! So I hope you enjoy this one just as much as I did <3

Xiao, Wanderer, Heizou with ghost skills!reader

TagList: @bleachtheidiot @miya-akane

TW: swearing (only in Wanderers part)

⊱ Xiao was just shocked, like are you a demon or something?!

⊱ he probably tried defeating you because he thought you were a demon, so you either will have to explain yourself or know him before you show your abilities to avoid this fight

⊱ alright but let's assume he knew you before and it's just first time when he sees your abilities

⊱ man is stunned, he doesn't know if you just died on his eyes or if he's dreaming... so he takes his anger and confusion on all the monsters around

⊱ alright but please just comofrt him, he just had literalt heart attack, just hug him and assure him that you're not dead, and explain to him how your abilities work

⊱ now he's just amazed by you, how can a mortal have these kind of abilities? he asks himself and then, he starts to think that you may not fully a mortal after all...

⊱ but then he sees your inguries and he quickly realizes that you are mortal after all so he's still scared fo your well being when you fight

⊱ although he has to admit that he's less worried about you now, since he knows you can make yourself transparent and enemies won't have any way to attack you

"I still don't understand how you can do that while being a mortal... no, don't explain it to me. But I recommend you to not use your abilities in front of funeral parlor girl. Yeah, Hu Tao."

⊱ alright so when Wanderer first saw it, he pretended to brush it off and act like it's nothing but deep inside he didn't knew if he felt amaze or frightend by your abilities

⊱ if you try to show him your skills, he'll just say that you should stop showing off but please go on and he'll finally break and admi he thinks they're cool

⊱ definitely remembers that and will ask you to scare some people if he will desire

⊱ after some time, he definitely thinks if you might got it from some ghost or if you can go to world of afterlife for at least a second

⊱ probably walks to your side more often to observe your skills in action even if he's excuse to do so is that 'your ailities won't do anything good in a fight and you need help'

⊱ basically he's just like a secret admirer but about your skills, he's not much jealous but he does think you look cool while using them

⊱ try scaring him by suddenly appearing in the wall, I guarantee he'll jump slightly before blushing and truning his face away from you while refusing to admit that he DID got scared

"Are you fucking stupid? I didn't got scared! No way that you can be scary... No! I don't think you're cute! ... I know it... I said nothing, idiot!"

⊱ when Heizou sees your abilities in action, he couldn't be more interested in you joke, he can be and he can prove it

⊱ but he really just have so much questions... Do you connect to someone from afterlife? What if it's just an illusion? Can you see ghosts? Can you see, talk or summon someone from afterlife? he doesn't know but he's about to find out!

⊱ whenver he hears you're going on exploration, to do quests or especially clear some places, he'll tag along and mostly observe while still helping out, he doesn't want you to get uncomofrtable

⊱ but he definitely got a heart attack when you first disappeared, you had to show back again or else he'd get whole searching group guess Aether won't be alone in finding missing person... SORRY

⊱ after he collects enough answers by just observing, he'll move onto asking you some questions after making sure you're comfortable with that

⊱ if not tho, he'll still do it but more secretly, he'll really just try to put it into a normal question you can get on daily basis but well... it turns out slightly suspicious which is still suprisingly good formed

⊱ your abilities are really one big mystery to him and he as the best detective in Inazuma is about to figure out every single little fact about them

"Don't worry about it, dear traveler. I simply want to understand how can you become transparent in such a short time... Are you sure you're even human?"

[as-i-watch]

in my opinion i think the opla did a very good job of trying to emulate the one piece manga and anime, but there’s a part of the anime that they can’t really convey through the live action. like… i think that the cartooniness of one piece, as well as the occasional emotional moments is what makes one piece one piece, but while the opla was able to get some of it, being a live action, it wasn’t able to convey all of it

it’s still wonderful, and i love it, but i like to compare it to the percy jackson movies. good live actions in their own right (still think opla did it WAY better) but compared to the original, it falls short (percy jackson a lot, opla a tiny bit)

i think the main issue for me is the characterisation. inaki did a very good luffy, but you can clearly see how it’s so inaki luffy instead of luffy luffy. still good, but still different

and i think mackenyu did zoro well, but in my opinion, it doesn’t fit him very well. zoro (while i still love him) isn’t as pretty as mackenyu is. mackenyu is too much of a pretty boy

i actually remember hearing in an interview that mackenyu grew up with anime, and of course one piece. i think he emulates zoro extremely well, and he tries his best to make it anime accurate, but he as a person just doesn't fit perfectly, the vibes are kinda off. still absolutely in love with him though

i think that it shouldn't have skipped so many parts of the original, but of course, it completely makes sense why they did

anyways, like i said, i think that if you don't compare them to each other, it's very good, and i do love how they did it (i'm also so happy that so many people loved the live action that they're actually starting to watch the anime!!)

I just finished episode 3 but i totally agree

My biggest fear when the adaptstion was announced was precisely that, bc one piece is so one of a kind, it can make you smile, it can make you sad, you cry tears of joy and of pain, and the anime takes the time to develope the charecters, the stories and the world, so sometimes the emotions are conveyed in such a subtle but effective way bc they took the time to make sure it did. Not to mention the tone and aesthetic. There's a lot that was gonna be difficult to translate to live action

That said, so far i think they did it great! I think they found a certain balance between the cartoonish and the 'real world' lets call it, and they took advantage very cleverly of cgi and practical effects to achive that too.

I agree the thing that perhaps lacks for me too is the charecters and also the pasing imo. But again, it was impossible to fit the storytelling way of the famously 'too long' anime in a 8 episodes per series format.

I too think Luffy feels the most different, i already talked a bit about that and i think it was just the result of it being a western production plus the complex charecter Luffy is. But Iñaki put so much love into his Luffy, you can feel it, its endearing

I dont have a problem with Mackenyu's Zoro funny enough. Sure, i miss how silly anime Zoro can be (but again, the tone thing) and they tried to make it too purposefully imo. Zoro is not edgy. He is badass and a maniac but he doesnt want to wear only black or cares about pressenting an "attitude". But there's a ray of hope for me (i havent finish the show so it might change my mind), the biggest stupid ass smile when he said he'd cut Helmepo's hair. He can be silly and less serious, so i hope i get to see more of that as he feels more comfortable in the crew.

Nami i like, im waiting for the Arlong park arc to make up my mind bc thats where her true colors shine either way. Really liking her dynamic with Luffy so far tho

Havent seen Sanji yet

And Usopp, i just met him and this might sound mean but this Usopp is too cool. Kinda like what you said for Zoro. I think this Usopp has more confidence in himself than anime/manga Usopp did back then and he is not that much of a coward. The coward part is important bc every time he stood up to fight it meant so much more. But again, is early for me to make up my mind this is just first impressions

But like you said, this is just bc of the comparison, on its own i think they are all doing amazing jobs and, so far for me, the writers managed to pull off something that to me was next to impossible and in a great way too.

Im curious to see how someone that hasnt watched the anime reacts to the mixed tone of live action meets silly cartoonish vibes, i hope its not too of context for a first time watcher

SNW 2x06 Lost in Translation thought-stream

Is Kirk in this episode? Exciiite!! :D

Uhura!!!!

"My eyes are technically open, Captain." I love this new confidence, it suits her!

The TOS earpiece :O Yisss

He's fleet captain?! That's quite big, no?

THE SPINNING THINGS!!!! Nacelles? Idk the orange glowy things you always see on the TOS intro are in action and I love it?

Ohhhh, the recording of Hemmer :'(

"I'm sorry. I just said that because he's dead." Pelia I ADORE you

"Which is why they could really use your version of managerial fervour." Hah! That is Very Una.

JEEEZ THAT APPARITION'S TERRIFYING ... WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO HEMMER, SNW?

"Starfleet officers aren't supposed to randomly hallucinate." "You didn't do anything wrong, and there was nothing random about it." M'Benga is so gentle!, I love his bedside manner <3

I feel like Uhura has been in sickbay a lot this season?

"I empathize. But I also know a stubborn patient when I see one. You aren't going back on duty till I'm satisfied you've slept." She look so shocked XD You really shouldn't be that surprised that the doctor is gonna doctor, Uhura!

OH IT'S THE FARRAGUT! THAT'S KIRK'S SHIP!

Am excited to see more of Pelia too!!!!!

Actually, this is the first time we've ever seen Sam and Jim alive together (apart from that AOS deleted scene). Time to make Operation Annihilate more heartbreaking!

"Literally everything in xenoanthropology is new and exciting."

Jim's eye on Spock's chess game makes me so happy, I cannot express how much

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I am not in the market for friends right now." Oh, Nyota

I am so here for Uhura and Kirk on the case together

Pike's little breath and "Lieutenant Kirk". He's so well-adjusted tho

I'm so excited for La'an to run into Kirk again too

Can you find someone else to evaluate if it's real? Oh you did! Yes, Nyota!

No, you're supposed to wait for backup!

The way Jim catches her :o :3 <3 And her panicked "wait!". Oh, my heart. Okay, I love this Jim too, this is our Kirk

Well that's not disturbing at all, Ramon's space disintegration

Pike is so dadly and I love him for it. "The way I see it, that's good news. You're not crazy. Something is affecting you, the same way it affected him. And we're gonna figure out what."

"It won't come to that, I promise you." How can you promise that, Chirs? Take her advice! Let her be safe

Oh La'an ❤️❤️❤️ Just stumbling in on Kirk like that. You poor thing.

"And you have crumbs on your uniform! You're like a space hippie!" Wow, Una XD

"I don't need a cookie." "Okay, now you sound crazy." Kirk's trying to offer food as comfort... I wonder how Tarsus fits into this Jim

"The truth is I've never been able to face death." Oh, Uhura.

I've just realised she was watching that video of Hemmer, even though she must know how to do the thing by now.

"What's the play?" God, Pike's trust in her. That must be such a hard decision, on only that information he's been given.

"You gave me a C!" XD

Ohhh. But it's not really about that. Good. Una's too good o be petty.

I really love being able to see this beginning of Kirk and Uhura's friendship <3

Jim, clearly he'd like you to return with a compliment of your own. 'Xenoanthropology saved the day after all' or something? It's not hard.

Sam! What the heck? I was on your side for a second but I really don't think your brother has anything he needs to apologise for. Are you this much of an ass to anyone else?! (I really can't remember what he did in s1).

SPOCK

A HANDSHAKE!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH

HER KNOWING SMILE

AHHHH

Oh and as the camera pans away we can see that Jim is constantly looking across to Spock I cannot I cannot I cannot

Oh I ADORED that episode. And not just the ending! Jim fit in seamlessly throughout, it was really nice seeing that in the real timeline, he is our Kirk.

And Uhura is, of course, everything. I love her so much.
